isunshowerso, i'm 23. i'm freshly out of college. when i was starting college i bought a bunch of extension cords for myself and my first roommate to use, and now that i live in an apartment with a reasonable amount of outlets, i don't use them anymore. i've been storing them all in a white plastic bin in our laundry room (we have in-unit laundry which is one of 2 nice things about this apartment) along with some other electronics miscellanea like earbud covers, usb wall plug, etc.
i went downstairs to do laundry tonight and when i had finished starting the load, i happened to look over at the shelf where we keep both the detergent and also this basket of cords. and i notice that there. is. WATER. sloshing around in there.
naturally im like oh shit and lift it up to bring it upstairs to hopefully dry off the electronics???? and then i realize???? it smells like piss????????? someone or something has PEED in my basket of cords???????????????/
the only possible explanation i can think of for this is that, like, ok a roommate saw a mouse in her room recently (the exterminator's come and gone it's been dealt with), maybe it is mouse pee? but it was really too much liquid for a mouse to be reasonably capable of producing????? my one roommate gets high on substances ranging from weed to magic mushrooms to god knows what else semi-regularly, did she do this while high? do we have a secret cat?????????????????????????????//
anyway so i washed everything with dish soap (bar a couple of items that looked corroded that i just tossed) and its currently drying sadly and pathetically on a towel in my bedroom. suffice it to say this is not a problem i anticipated having as a renter
